My guns are stored in a safe, muzzle down, lightly oiled/re-oiled at each handling.

Where I live has very low humidity around 3% during summer and I have never had a problem with rust. However my .458 lott is on its 3rd stock due to spliting. Whether this is from recoil or from the dry climate I am not sure. I have not had a problem with any other gun in my safe.

Steve, I live about 70 miles from you, so we share the same climate. I have a dessicant filled unit in my gun locker that cost about $20.00 at L&M Supply. When the beads turn pink, I plug it in for a few hours to dry it out. I don't leave the locker hanging open for extended periods, but moisture still manages to invade the inner sanctum.
